UNDERSTAND

 

 

I COULD ASK WHY

BUT WHY WHEN I UNDERSTAND

 

HE WASN'T THERE FOR YOU

NOR WAS HE THERE FOR ME

I UNDERSTAND

WE HAVE NO RESPECT FOR FAMILY

 

YOUR MOMS WAS ON CRACK

MY MONMS WAS A DRUNK

I UNDERSTAND WHY WE DON'T GIVE A FUCK

 

YOU STAY TRICKIN I GET TRICKED ON

I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU TRY TO KEEP

YOUR POCKETS LONG

 

YOU WORK AGAINST SOCIETY

MAKIN YOUR ENDS MEET

I HAVE TO RESORT TO FOODSTAMPS MEDICAID, PUBLIC ASSISTANCE

TO MAKE SURE WE EAT

 

YOU SELL DRUGS

I SMOKE THE SIN

I UNDERSTAND WE BOTH

ARE DEALIN WITH THE UNGODLY

AND IT MAKES ME SICK

 

I WANT YOU TO KNOW

I DO UNDERSTAND

THAT IS WHY I NEVER LEFT YOU

PLEASE TAKE MY HAND

 

I WANT YOU TO KNOW

WE WERE

RIPPED, TORN APART

SEPERATED

AND MENTALLY SWITCHED OUR PARTS

 

I CAN'T GO ON W/ OUT YOU ANY LONGER

IT HAS BEEN WELL OVER 500 YEARS AND

WE ARE STILL UNDER

 

I'VE GOT NEWS FOR YOU

MY STRONG INTELLIGENT BEAUTIFUL

BLACK MAN.  HIS EYES ARE ON US

WE ARE STILL HERE

I UNDERTAND

 

LOOK TO ME

I AM AS STRONG AS OUR AFRICAN TREES

PLEASE OH PLEASE ALLAH BRING HIM BACK TO ME

 

I UNDERSTAND IT COMES FROM WITHIN

WE WILL SEEK OUR GOD TOGETHER

AND ALL THINGS WILL AMEND

 

NOW WE OVERSTAND ALL THE LIES SCHEMES AND SCAMES

 

THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUE GOD

ALLAH AND HE HAS US CRADLED

IN HIS HANDS
